Women in Engineering visit to Leonardo

Wed 08 Jun 2016

Wednesday was Women in Engineering day, to mark the occasion local engineering firm Leonardo (Formerly SELEX ES) invited 26 girls from our Year 6 to attend a day of workshops and activities. This is the second year that they have run this day for us, organised by graduate engineer Amy Hearst.

The Smallpeice Trust delivered two practical workshops, in the morning the girls had to make a parachute to deliver a canister holding an egg safely to the ground. In the afternoon, the challenge was to produce a rocket that would gain the greatest height.

The Year 6 girls represented Newlands really well, they were complemented on their behaviour and achieved some great product results. Most of the eggs landed unscathed!

Thank you to Amy and Leonardo for organising this fantastic opportunity.

Mrs Field; Leaving assembly

Fri 27 May 2016

Yesterday, the children and staff of Newlands school, said a very deep felt 'Goodbye' to Mrs Field. She has supported numerous children (and staff) over the years, first as a TA and more recently as the school's ELSA.

Each class had prepared a special tribute or message for her and this was shared in a special farewell assembly yesterday afternoon.

We all wish Mrs Field every happiness for her future.

Federation ICT day

Wed 25 May 2016

Five of our year 5 pupils joined pupils from other Federation Schools for an ICT day held at Shirley Warren School. The pupils were chosen for their computing skills, which they used on the day to write programs for games to be used by schools during next year's Safer Internet Day.

Our children were a credit to our school in their enthusiasm, computing skills and excellent behaviour.

The photos show them working in mixed groups with pupils from the other schools.

After months of hard work, Zany Zebra finally revealed his new coat to the children today. The marvellous creation is made up of hundreds of messages about zebras which have been written by the children and staff at Newlands Primary.
